• SQL Server Help me remind me why I never run a package from a package

  Hi, For some reason, I stay away from executing a package from a package. I guess that this is because I have experienced issues with this in the past and because I have read some articles in that forum that pin point specific issues when you do this. So far I try very hard to either combine all I need in one package or I break it down in multiple packages and use SQL Agent to drive the package chaining. Does anyone has a better experience with SP2 as far as running child package from parent package is concerned Any bugs remaining out there Thanks, Philippe I'm not running SP2 yet, but I've seen quite a few people start to lean on SP2 as causing most of their recent issues. Please, i ...Show All

• Visual Studio ASP.NET Development Server configuration

  When I create new Web Service project and try to run/debug it - ASP.NET Development Server instance are created and I could see results (Web Site on http://localhost:<port>/Site/<WS_name>.asmx ).

• Visual Studio Visual Studio 2005 error - The given path's format is not supported

  When I attempt to create a new project in VS2005, I get a dialog box saying "The given path's format is not supported." It's a simple local path on my C: drive, and the folder DOES exist. I browse to a new location, just in case, and get the same error. When I attempt to create just a new file, I get "The operation could not be completed. The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect." Just to be pedantic, I'd like to note, I believe that last comma is grammatically incorrect ... I believe that line should read, "The operation could not be completed. The filename, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect."

• SQL Server SSIS Deployment

  Hello, I would like to know how to set up the SSIS package with the DATABASE, SERVER NAME and Connection String into variables, so that I can change these parameters of the deployement, on another name of server and database (and connection string). Thanks a lot for your advices ! Marie-Therese Basically you have to enable package configuration and then decide where those configurations are going to live. You can use a SQL Server table; XML file; environment variable or registry key. Depending on what you decide; you will need to change the configuration values where thy reside (table, variable, xml file, etc) If you look for 'package configurations' in bol or the forums you will find a lot of reference material. Here is a sample ...Show All
